Give Your Brush a Bath

Eliminate bacteria buildup by submerging your toothbrush into one of these solutions after brushing for 10-20 minutes. Studies have shown both solutions to be effective at eliminating bacterial growth on toothbrushes. Just be sure to change solutions every couple of days to prevent microbes from turning the tide on your cleaning agents.

Option #1: Tricoslan solution
Dissolve a teaspoon of a tricoslan-containing solution, such as Colgate Total, into enough sterile deionized water to cover the brush head.

Either solution might also be ideal for treating new toothbrushes before using for the first time. Some research has shown that toothbrushes can become contaminated during the manufacturing and packaging processes.
